Blystone, starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.The prologue finds Stan and Ollie in the trenches of World War I. When the unit is ordered to go over the top and charge, Stan is told to stay behind and guard the trench. Stan and Ollie bid each other goodbye and Ollie promises to come back.Cut forward twenty years and Stan is still in the trench, guarding his post. He manages to shoot down a plane, whereupon the agitated pilot tells him that the war has been over for two decades. When Stan comes back to America Ollie reads about his old friend in the paper and brings him home. Cue comic hijinks that involve Ollie's tyrannical wife, Ollie's very sexy neighbor lady, and the neighbor lady's jealous husband.

The Artifact: Ollie's jealous neighbor, Mr. Gilbert, is a Great White Hunter with stuffed heads on his walls. The original script had a Black Comedy ending with Stan and Ollie's heads mounted on the wall, with Ollie's head turning to Stan and saying "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into!" This idea was dropped for an ending where Mr. Gilbert is chasing Stan and Ollie away.

Creative Closing Credits: Creative Opening Credits. The credits are accompanied by sketches which match who's being credited. For director John G. Blystone's credit, there's a cartoon drawing of a guy in a director chair with megaphone. For the Film Editor credit, there's a drawing of a confused-looking man holding a film strip and a pair of scissors.
